WWE fans still remember the exact moment when they realized AJ Styles had arrived in the WWE. It was during the Royal Rumble match in 2016 and when the superstar made his way out the fans and attendants lost their minds while the internet exploded.
Finally, one of the greatest wrestlers on the planet had signed with a promotion and instead of sending him to NXT, the WWE officials made the right call bringing him straight to the main roster.
AJ Styles has since won the WWE and United States championships in the company and defended the WWE title at WrestleMania in just two years. The superstars cemented his status as one of the top stars in the organization and while he's not young anymore, he is still one of the best workers in the industry.
With that being said, Styles has previously talked about retiring by 2020. The superstar is already entering his 40s, but there are a few things the wrestling fans want to see him accomplish in the business before he decides to hang up his boots
#5 Win The Intercontinental Title
The Intercontinental title was seen as the workhorse championship. Numerous top stars, before winning the world title, were given the Intercontinental title. In fact it was seen as a key step before pushing someone as a main eventer.
Superstars like Shawn Michaels ,Bret Hart and Steve Austin were given runs with the Intercontinental title before they were pushed as main eventers.
The Intercontinental Championship has a rich history and as such wrestlers see it as an honor to win it. while AJ Styles has already won the richest prize in the business, giving him the Intercontinental Championship will only add to the prestige of the title.
Moreover if Styles wins the Intercontinental title, he will be in the running to join an exclusive club of stars who became Grand Slam champions in the WWE.
#4 Win The MITB Contract
AJ Styles has always been about high octane and high-flying offense, while also comfortable on the mat. While Styles has put on numerous memorable matches in the WWE, he has made a name for himself putting his body on the line and doing things that otherwise would be considered improbable to accomplish in a wrestling ring.
One of the more fascinating concepts WWE has come up with in recent times has been the Money in the Bank ladder match. Not only is there an air of anticipation and expectation when a title match is going on, but it also adds to the story.
The cash ins could also change superstars' fortunes and could elicit emotions that would make the moment even more magical.
AJ Styles has won world titles everywhere he's been but the thought of AJ cashing in at a major pay-per-view is mouth-watering and could lead to some excellent storylines and matches
#3 Win the Universal Championship
S
The Universal title has replaced the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw, and while we haven't had many Universal champions, it is still considered to be one of the two major titles in the company.
In the past superstars including John Cena, Edge and Batista held the WWE title as well as the World Heavyweight title. Styles has achieved everything there is to achieve on Smackdown Live, and there is a good chance he will be drafted to Raw next year.
AJ should win the Universal title before he bids farewell to the wrestling fans, which could realistically happen as early as next year.
#2 Headline Wrestlemania
In just two years AJ Styles, has become a two-time WWE Champion and successfully defended the WWE title at WrestleMania. However, he wasn't the headliner of the event and had to settle for a lower spot.
While having a match on the Grandest Stage of Them All would be good enough for the majority of the talent, the top stars need to show more ambition. That was one of the biggest reasons behind CM Punk walking out of the WWE, and Daniel Bryan showed great desire to have that spot on the card.
AJ Styles is a phenomenal talent and can do justice to the match it be headlines a WrestleMania card going last to Wrestlemania is a huge honor and the current WWE champ needs to make it happen before walking into the sunset.
#1 Win the Royal Rumble Match
Very few stars get the honor of winning the Royal Rumble match, and given the fact that Styles made his debut during the Royal Rumble, it would be fitting to see AJ win the match in the final years of his wrestling career.
AJ has created history before and is the only wrestler to have won the IWGP, TNA, and WWE titles. Styles will go down as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and deserves to add one more accomplishment to his resume and win the Royal Rumble match before he retires from pro wrestling.
